SADDLE.

INVENTOR V 5/72] flag ATTORNEY EMIL J. BORG, or EMERSON, IOWA.
sanntn.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it knownv that I, EMIL J Bone, a citizen of the United States, residing at Emerson, in the county of Montgomery and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Saddles, of which the following is a Specification.
The present inventionrelates to saddles, and, the invention has more particular reference to a novel cushioned saddle.
The invention has for its principal object to provide a cushioned riding saddle which will eliminate .jolting of the horseman due to an ill-gaited horse and, also, to the inability of beginners to accustom themselves to the pace of a horse ffurther, a saddle for use by persons traveling long distances which will afford a comfortable seat and prevent saddle soreness.
Among other aims and objects of the invention may be recited, the provision of a saddle of the character mentioned with a view to compactness, and in which the number of parts are few, the construction simple, the cost of production small and eiiiciency and operation high.
The improvements in the details and ar rangcment of parts will be apparent from an inspection of the accompanying drawings, in connection with the specific description hereinafter contained, and where in the preferred embodiment of the invention is disclosed for the purpose of imparting a full understanding of the invention.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved saddle,
Fig. 2 is a top plan of the saddle suppogt, the saddle being removed therefrom, an
Fig. 3 is a fragmental section in detail showing the connection between the supporting springs and the movable saddle supporting frame.
Similar characters of reference are employed in all of the above described views. to indicate corresponding parts.
Referring now in detail to the several figures of the said drawings, the construction embodies a base supporting member 1, which is preferably formed of wood or other similar material and is of a shape to conform to the back of a horse, whereby, the same may be readily placed thereover and will not rub or injure the horse. A pad 2 is arranged beneath the supporting Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed September as, 1916. Serial No. 122,727.
member 1 and, obviously, prevents scraping of the horses backby the support 1. A girth 3 is connected with the opposite sides of the base supporting member 1 and as will be understood, is adapted to be passed about the body of the animal, whereby, the construction will besecurely held in proper position. A plurality of supporting standards,generally indicated at t are arranged upon either end of the support 1 and are secured thereto by means of rivets or the like, which are passed'through the bracket portions 5 arranged upon the standards and then'engage'd with the member 1.
A' saddle 6, of any suitable design, is supportedupon the standards a by means of a frame 7, which frame comprises transversely and longitudinally arranged pieces, the transverse pieces having a plurality of openings 8 formed therein, in proximity to the opposite extremities thereof and adapted to receive the various standards 4: therethrough. Contractile coiled springs 9, are arranged about the upper portions of the standards 4 and have the upper ends thereof connected with the adjacent ends of the standards, by passing the same through suitable openings formed therein and. then bent upwardly, as at 10, to prevent displacement. The lower convolutions of the springs have portions thereof bent at substantially right angle, as indicated by the numeral 11, the outer extremities of which are screw threaded and are passed through washers 12, whereupon, they have turned into engagement with their threaded extremities, locking nuts 13. By this construction, it is evident that the frame 7 will be resiliently support-ed upon the standards 4 by means of the various coiled springs 9 which are connected to the said standard and to the movable saddle supporting frame 7. It will also be noted that the transverse pieces of the frame roject beyond the sides of the longitu inal pieces and for this reason prevent the saddle 6 from moving longitudinally of the longitudinal pieces since the saddle fits between the projecting ends of the transverse pieces as shown in Fig. 1.
From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that I have provided a cushioned saddle which will prevent jolting of a person riding horseback and will aflord a comfortable seat. As hereinbefore indicated, the saddle may be well adapted for use by beginners,
since, thejolting 'caused by the trotting of the horse will frequently serve to unseat them and will also injure the horse by reason of the constant pounding of the per 1 tion shown and the description based thereon being intended to be taken in an illustrative rather than a limiting sense.
I claim:
1. In a device of the class described, the combination of a base acting as a supporting member, a frame yieldably supported upon said base, said frame comprising longitudinal and transverse pieces, the latter projecting beyond the sides of the longitudinal pieces, and a saddle positioned upon said longitudinal pieces and bearing against the'projecting ends of said transverse pieces whereby said saddle will be supported and will be held against accidental lateral displacement.
2. In a device of the class described, the combination of a base acting as a supporting member, standards carried by said base,
a frame comprising a one piece structure of longitudinal and transverse pieces, the latter projecting beyond the sides of said longitudinal pieces, said standards projecting through said a transverse pieces, resilient means positioned upon said standards and engaging said frame for normally urging the same in one direction, and a saddle positioned upon said frame, said saddle being carried by said longitudinal pieces and bearing againstsaid transverse pieces whereby said saddle will be held against lateral displacement.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
